I know what dumping feeling like now...

Something so weird happened to me this afternoon. I've been fighting off the flu, not enough sleep, working like crazy, and not eating right. I had not eaten today at work, and when I came home I ate a bit of chicken and a protein bar of some kind. I can only speculate the something went down wrong because my body went into shock. It was the scariest thing ever and I was so glad hubby came home shortly after Thi**** immediately after eating. I was cycling hot and cold, rapid cycling with heart palpitations. I felt like I needed to throw up and explode and I was very nauseated too. I felt like I couldn't breathe. This went on for well over an hour. Then I started coughing, and sat in the recliner, and would go to sleep and cough and sleep and cough. Finally whatever happened worked its way through and I am ok now - but that was so awful! Thank God for the band, and that I didn't choose RNY. I couldn't handle that and I am on liquids for a bit. Who knows what caused it? A weird kind of stuck? Blood sugar problem? Whatever, I am glad it's over, and even more glad that I have my island friends to talk to. This is not something to post for newbies. Love you guys!

Shoot Chelle - what is going on with you? Please take care of yourself. The flu this season is nothing to sneeze at (no pun intended.) I lost 7 kids today in school... they were dropping out like flies! Rest, relax, do liquids, go see your doctor, take off of work and sleep (like how I slipped go see your doctor in there?) (((HUGS)))

It's me Chelle - bethmal.... sorry. Sent you a PM to explain... I think.

I am hoping it is just a one time freak thing...

Sorry to hear that Chelle! You just explained what happened to me in the doctors office. I believe my blood sugar dropped because I did that exact same thing! Sweaty, heart beating fast, thought I was going to throw up, it was awful! It passed eventually but yours seemed to go on much longer! I hope you're feeling better. Karen

I think I am fine now.... That was no fun!

Oh, that doesn't sound fun, but it sounds similar to what a LOT of people are experiencing. Glad it passed. I'd try to stay on some nice warm soups. They always make me feel better! This has to be the worst flu season I've seen in a really long time. Thank God for Bath and Body Works. I keep a few bottles of the antibacterial soap in my office and if someone comes in sneezing and coughing, I just sort of put it out there and squirt it on their hands!! And I have a couple of cans of lysol in the office too. Try to take it easy.....get some rest and feel better!

I am happy to be off work through Monday - no plans, just relaxing times. And definitely lots of soups! Ha - I have lysol and sanitizer gel in my office too.

I know that when I don't eat for a while and I eat something sugary, I get so ill. Maybe something in that protein bar didn't sit quite right. If there is no pain, then it probably wasn't stuck. Your food just didn't sit so hot I guess. Maybe food poisioning? I get that way with food poisioning (had it 3 times).

I am so sorry that that happened to you. It does really sound like Steve got with dumping. I hope that never happens to you again. Feel better...
